Personally, I love walking in old neighborhoods with mid-Century modern homes....mostly in California towns. It brings a smile to my face of when I was a youngster and kids playing in the yard and street.
However, I do not like all the sitting furniture of that era as it really is mostly uncomfortable after a half hour.
BUT, I am old so these are going by the wayside as well !!!
I agree with you; some of the Mid-century modern architecture was wonderful and holds up today, but a lot of the other design was ugly, or just plain boring.
You’re not THAT old. ;-)
